This is actually specifically written for the person who invited me to the "ArrowAlumni" social network for my high school. Thanks, but no effin thanks!!!
Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I went to the link that was provided. Like Classmates dot com, I entered my graduation date and a pic of myself now, along with other mundane information about myself with a disclaimer that I would most likely not be forthcoming with information regarding what I do in life and such due to the conservative, bible-thumping, closed and simple-minded ways of Mississippians that I at least went to school with (meaning this might not pertain to all Mississippians, but to the ones I have had the disdain to have contact with). I saved my profile and then proceeded to look through the other members to see whom I knew. Joey, my sweet sweet friend that honestly wasn't my friend in high school, he just happened to end up going to my high school, graduating before me and dating one of my best friends before she was my best friend, was on the site. He added me as a friend and asked if I was following him (anywhere dearest).
I got some messages from people I knew, or whom knew my brother so the interaction seemed positive, even for Mississippi. UNTIL--- I found out how to load pictures onto the site. Well, here I am thinking... "these people dont even remember me for the most part unless its as the fat girl". I did manage to lose the weight before I graduated, got a bf while I was there but he didnt attend my high school. So in thinking that people might be interested in just taking a peak into my life... I could have been slightly misguided. So in my naive delight for having found the space where I could share my transformation, I posted some pics of my b-day last year at Coyote Ugly in Chicago. Man did we have a good time. I danced on the stripper pole, I had a lady in leather chaps lap dance for me as a gift from my bestest friend, I danced on the bar with the bartenders (like in the movie) and did tequila shots off my best friend's boyfriend's Bald head. Mind you, everyone remained clothed the entire time. I saved my pictures with appropriate comments and went to sleep for the night.
Unfortunately, I awoke the next morning to a nasty-gram in my email.
Shauna (Singleton) Williams has sent you a message on ArrowAlumni.
Hi Tonya,
You like you had a heck of a party in Chicago. The photos have been deleted.
Please keep it conservative and clean as the ground rules states.
Shauna
Well it seems that Shauna must have cheated her way through English and Writing; Its "You LOOK like you had one heck of a time..." But somehow... in her amazingly clouded simpleton-ness she deemed my pictures unworthy of the website and deleted them. As I mentioned there was no nudity or ludicrous types of displays in the pictures; in my opinion. Thus, I removed myself from the site entirely. One friend was like... isn't that a bit of a harsh and hasty decision to make? I was like... "Why... to subject myself to the ridicule and criticism of close-minded, undereducated, underachieving individuals? Whatever!!"
So.... I haven't ever been to a class reunion and I'm certainly not starting now. It would be a total waste of money to fly all the way over there. Pfffffffffffft!
*kttn*
